[WEB4LIB] Re: block text search/replace utility?

[P. Michael McCulley]

Notetab Light (Freeware) can handle this; it also has an "Insert File" command on the Document menu, which you could script or use the "text macros" (called clip or clipbook libraries; downloadable from the site as add-ins) to a> search text b> replace by space and c> insert file, etc.

This software also has the addable clipboard libraries that make it useful in HTML/coding tasks, including cleaning/quoting e-mails. Often called a Notepad replacement, this one's much more, IMO.

See http://www.notetab.com/

Best,
